Green home bliss | Hotel

Nice guesthouse in the Volcanoes area. The place is new, spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. Hot showers and flush toilet. The owner is Salus (+250788468286). He is a guide in the area, and he did everything to make us feel at home. We paid 50.000 for a double room, including breakfast. They have two other rooms, one is more like a family unit. There is a shared terrace and living room for the guests. Secure parking. We cooked next to our car. But we could also place our stove on the terrace or living room if we wanted to. So, all in all, it felt more like an apartment than a room in a hotel (also because we were the only guests).

We had a hard time finding a good campspot or affordable room in de proximity of the headquarters of Vulcanoes NP. As everything in this area is focused on the high-end tourist, ór a bit shabby. So this was a nice place. Its 15 minutes drive to the headquarters. We just showed up, Salus wasn't there at that moment. Better to call in advance, although somebody of the staff will be happy to help you. You can also book the room online, but it was more expensive. They did our laundry, washed our car, and made a packed breakfast for our hike. Really friendly and welcoming.

They have a bigger parkinglot next to the house: a walled area with gravel (see picture). Not a beautiful spot but big enough for a car (or 2) if you want to camp. Salus also said you can camp on the parking of his house or with a ground tent on a small piece of grass. But its a bit small. He really would like to welcome more visitors, so you are more than welcome. You can discuss an appropriate price for camping with him.

Directions: There isn't any sign. But if you come from the south, you take the last street right before the Tiloreza ecolodge. Then, it is the second building to the left (red gates).
